Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | "The American Civil War -- April to April, Sumter to Appomattox, 1861 to 1865 -- pervades the national conscience....It makes a great story...," writes Shelby Foote in his foreword to this volume. "I know of none since the Iliad that rivals it either in drama or in pathos...." The Blue and The Gray tells that story, the epic of the first great modern conflict. In so doing, it raises issues still of urgent concern in many lands today: What unifies a diverse nation? What justifies the formation...more
The Blue and the Gray: Volume 1: From the Nomination of Lincoln to the Eve of Gettysburg (Classic History of the Civil War , Vol 1)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 1997-10-11 Summary: It's immediate. It's simple. It's great! ... Just the notes connecting the first person peices of these volumes make for a good history of the Civil War! They're short but good. But that is not the point. The accounts themselves are by soldiers (and sometimes civilians) written as they lived the adventure and tragedy of the Civil War. Cavalry raids come to life. Battles materialize before your eyes. Even the "dull" days of waiting are filled with a vibrance. All this is done, not by "authors" but by folks like you and me. And it is true from the begining to end. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-02-18 Summary: The best collection of Civil War primary documents ... There are over 400 articles and over two-dozen illustrations reproduced in this notable collection which is subtitled "The Story of the Civil War as Told By Participants." These words are taken from speeches, letters, editorials, diaries, memoirs, poems, articles, reports, orders, and even the sheet music of the day. Henry Steele Commager, the legendary American historian, covers every aspect of the war in his chapters: the events and issues leading up to the war, the great battles and campaigns, life on the home front ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-02-21 Summary: marvellous works on the Civil War ... With a name like Henry Steele Commanger one would expect him to be a writer of history. And boy is he!! A whole section in my library is filled with his amazing works. This one is a two Volume Set - with Volume 1 starting with the nomination of Abraham Lincoln as President of the US and follows the events to the bloody three-day battle of Gettysburg, the highwater mark of the Confederacy. Volume 2 takes us from the aftermath of Gettysburg and follows the war to Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The works are surprisingly ...more
Sons of Garibaldi in Blue and Gray: Italians in the American Civil War
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Not much has been written about the Italian immigrant experience prior to 1880. This book, through careful analysis of primary and archival sources, brings to life the Civil War-time trials and tribulations of several notable Italian Americans--Bancroft Gherardi, Luigi Palma di Cesnola, Francis B. Spinola, Decimus et Ultimus Barziza, and Edward Ferrero, among others. Though their numbers were few, Italian Americans played central roles in the bloodiest war in our country's history. Included...more
Shades of Blue and Gray (Harvest Book)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 1998-07-02 Summary: An excellent overview of the American Civil War. ... Prof. Hattaway, a student of T. Harry Williams of LSU, has the most eloquent and clear style of writing that the concepts that he communicates are very easily understood. Having had Prof. Hattaway for Am. Hist. in college, I must say that his writing technique is truly genuine--he acts and reacts precisely in the way that he presents himself in the work. The work itself gives a very broad overview of the Civil War with enough detail to surpass elementary study but in moderation enough to keep easily distracted readers ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2001-10-05 Summary: An excellent brief military history of the Civil War. ... Hattaway's Shades of Blue and Gray is an excellent introduction to the military history of the Civil War. While brief enough for the amateur historian to enjoy, this book is also suitable for scholars and features many valuable insights into the period. Hattaway adequately explains many of the complicated and technical aspects of the war in a way other works have failed to do. Shades of Blue and Gray gets to the heart of the military science involved in the war, and relates the Civil War to the world-wide development ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Unique to books on the Civil War, this concise and informative introductory military history discusses how technological innovations changed the configuration of the battlefield and the very face of war. 27 photos. 4 maps....more
[2] ... Review | Herman Hattaway analyzes the Civil War with an emphasis on contemporary advances in military technology and their effects on behavior in the field. Ulysses Grant was speaking nearly literally when he wrote, "the iron gauntlet must be used more than the silken glove to destroy the Confederacy"; in the end, Hattaway demonstrates, it was superior iron and steel that won the Union cause. He examines the development and use of submarines, mines, automatic weapons, balloons, and especially rifles and artillery,...more
Baseball in Blue and Gray: The National Pastime during the Civil War
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-09-23 Summary: Baseball - outlined against a blue, gray historical backdrop ... George Kirsch's book about baseball during the middle of the 19th century, particularly the Civil War years, is a little too scholarly and a little too detailed to be considered light reading, in spite of its fairly small size. But it's still a very engaging book, which will inform and entertain reasonably literate baseball fans (yes, I know these often seem scarce). The Abner Doubleday legend was put to bed long ago, as was the myth that Lincoln, on his deathbed, begged Doubleday to keep baseball alive (with a bullet ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2005-07-25 Summary: Baseball and ... the Civil War? ... America's favorite pastime existed in the Civil War? As a Civil War historian it never crossed my mind that baseball existed in the mid nineteenth century. But it did and it was popular! This book not only relates baseball to the Civil War but also presents the roots of America's favorite pastime. While many baseball and sports historians claim that Abner Doubleday, a Union general in the Civil War, was instrumental in creating the baseball we know today, Kirsch shows evidence that the game was actually developed in ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2005-01-21 Summary: Good early baseball history, not much Civil War ... The title of George B. Kirsch's book Baseball in Blue & Gray is a tad misleading. It implies that the book is a history of baseball as played by soldiers in the American Civil War. Though one chapter, titled battlefront, is devoted to baseball as it was played in the military and prison camps of that war, the remainder of the book is best captured by its sub-title - The National Pastime During the Civil War. As a history of how baseball developed, progressed, and grew into the American National Pastime during the first ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | During the Civil War, Americans from homefront to battlefront played baseball as never before. While soldiers slaughtered each other over the country's fate, players and fans struggled over the form of the national pastime. George Kirsch gives us a color commentary of the growth and transformation of baseball during the Civil War. He shows that the game was a vital part of the lives of many a soldier and civilian--and that baseball's popularity had everything to do with surging American...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-08 Summary: liked enough to keep.. ... This serves its purpose, and looks cool. But I did expect it to be a little different. I was hoping that the outer casing would be a little more firm and substansial..providing somewhat of a shell for the laptop to sit securely in. Instead, it is a very thin and flexible material. I kept this because I can still use it and the price was right, but I hoped for something more. ...more
